George West FCCLA

2026 FCCLA Banquet in the books! So many great leaders in this crew! Can’t wait to see their futures unfold.

We came, we saw, we conquered (well some did). Escape Room then brunch for our FCCLA field trip!

Don’t forget to bring a silent auction item to Mrs. Carroll by Tuesday 4/21! Blue rosette winners
• your winning baked goods would be a great donation! Candles, jewelry, home goods, plants, baskets of goodies always sell well!

We are getting ready for our annual FCCLA Silent Auction. If you would like to donate we would greatly appreciate it! We are trying to get to Nationals in Washington, D.C.

I am so proud of my FCCLA students! Each year I introduce STAR events and hope to ignite a spark. Our students developed many projects that educated our community and school, or enhanced their own leadership skills. This year we had 12 teams advanced to the State level, 22 competitors. The competition was stiff, and these George West FCCLA members rose to the occasion! They prepared and rehearsed, and took constructive criticism to get better. I know they all learned something about themselves through the process.

Here are the results:

🏆 Grace Alaniz-Focus on Children, Level 2, 1st place (National Qualifier)

🏆Carlee Johnson- Career Investigation, Level 3, 2nd place(National Qualifier)
